This is James, a 19-day-old baby boy from Haiti! He has two loving parents with two siblings, who are looking forward to playing with their new brother once he comes home. James was born with a birth defect called an omphalocele, meaning that his intestines are outside his abdomen. Our medical partner, Project Medishare, explains, “The disease causes the baby to become underweight, as he is not fed well. He has severe abdominal pains and an infection of his navel.” With James' life-threatening symptoms, he will not be able to return to home unless his condition is surgically repaired. Both of James parents are currently unemployed. His father works as a laborer and his mother takes care of their children and prepares food. They are not able to afford treatment for James. For $1,500, we can pay for a surgical intervention to correct James' omphalocele and make sure he heals correctly with antibiotics. “I just wish to see my baby healthy and okay to come home to join our family," says James' mom. Let’s help get James home to meet his siblings!
